✨ POST-ACNE SCARRING Acne scarring (atrophic scars) is one of the most common consequences after acne, especially with severe inflammatory acne such as cysts or nodules. This occurs when the skin’s structure is deeply damaged, leading to the breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the skin is unable to fully regenerate, leaving behind depressions or small pits on the surface. 🔎 Causes of post-acne scarring Improper squeezing or extraction of acne, causing tissue rupture. Prolonged inflammatory acne that destroys collagen structure. Weak skin with poor regenerative capacity. Lack of proper skincare and early treatment during the inflammatory stage. 📌 Common types of atrophic scars 1. Ice pick scars: Narrow and deep, resembling needle punctures. 2. Boxcar scars: Clearly defined edges, wider base, and moderate depth. 3. Rolling scars: Wave-like, uneven surface with shallow depressions. 💡 Treatment of acne scars usually requires a combination of advanced dermatological procedures such as microneedling, RF microneedling, fractional laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or collagen induction therapies, depending on scar type and skin condition. ________🥰🥰_________
